one of most interesting book about Fischer.
I have 4 or 5 books about Fischer, but this one is different. It shows Fischer, the person. Seven contributors recalled their personal contacts with Fischer. Their encounters were first-hand, so their stories are truer. There are no deep chess analyses in this book, however they are the important ...

A Legend on the Road: Bobby Fischer's 1964 Simultaneous Exhibition Tour 1 review John Donaldson
Russell Enterprises, 2005
Very enjoyable read for me . . .
This book is about Bobby Fischer's 1964 cross country trip in 1964, playing simuls against large crowds. Lots of newspaper clippings from the various cities, and personal stories from some of the contestants. I think Bobby won 94% of his games, averaging only about six seconds a move, while his ...

Bobby Fischer Goes to War: How the Soviets Lost the Most Extraordinary Chess Match of All Time 38 reviews David Edmonds, John Eidinow
Ecco, 2004
couldn't put it down
+ The Battles Behind the Scenes of the "Most Notorious Chess Duel in History".

even more interesting than the book. book, of course, is a fantastic read.

Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy (Revised Edition) 17 reviews Frank Brady
Dover Publications, 1989
A wide-eyed, breathless biography
+ Arid and Ironic
I bought the first edition of this book by mail order when I was about 16, and devoured it eagerly. In those days world-class chess was relentlessly dominated by the USSR, challenged mainly by other Eastern Europeans and the occasional American like Reshevsky, Evans and the Byrne brothers. Boris ...
